Tuesday's run to Boise for @MoparMom I was following another vehicle which slowed down quickly and steered clear of a wandering skunk. I had little choices for avoiding the skunk. So I mashed on the brakes and come to complete stop so I didn't crush the little fella. Sad to say he sprayed the entire front of the truck with his scent. I've learned that the scent is a oil based material and very powerful smell. As for where I was sprayed across the front bumper and grill as well as under the truck in the engine area. Now the purple degreaser works awesome for cleaning that stuff off the chrome and grill just rinses right off with a power washer and the degreaser. I did do some reading that if the spray gets on the paint you might have to repaint the vehicle because the scent/spray will actually penetrate all the way to the metal.
Got up this morning and the shop smells kind of skunky.

Jeez! Would've just been easier if you hit the sucker! lol
I would've done the same exact thing though, and then been *****'n and moanin about the clean up.
